Tigers edge Calvert

Prep Baseball

ATTICA - Seneca East coach Frank Lamoreaux didn't know when he arrived at Wednesday's game with Calvert who would pitch.

So he left it up to his two choices - Ethan Caudill and Mason McWilliams.

Even they couldn't decide.

Eventually, the decision was made to go with McWilliams.

As usual, the senior didn't disappoint.

McWilliams fanned 13 Senecas and allowed just two hits, shutting out the Senecas 1-0.

But for as well as the Tigers' starter was, Calvert pitcher Jacob Vera almost was as good. He allowed just three hits, but Seneca East scraped across a run in the third when Caudill singled in Alex Scheiber, who had walked and stolen second.

It was all McWilliams (3-0) needed to pick up the victory.

Vera struck out six in the loss.

"It was one of the best pitched games I've seen," said Calvert coach Dustin Ritchie, referring to both starters.

Jesse Gase had both of Calvert's hits in the loss.

Caudill had a pair of hits for the Tigers, who improved to 6-0. Calvert is 2-1. It was the first MAL game for each team.
